In this case boiled spaghetti with butter and a bit of salt. Add a sauce and were talking ralph country.

I think there's a little bit of a difference between when you're like hungover IE hovering over the toilet and tunneling your head under pillows from the dawn while you try to sip water and moan 'oh godddddd oh godddddd' while rolling around a lot before deciding you're feeling better and standing up to go take a shower and then you get to the toilet and take a piss and you're like fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk and this huge pounding comes on in your head where you can actually hear it and it's like blood rushing with each heartbeat and you grab toilet paper and drape it over your head in a feeble attempt to block out the little sliver of light that's coming out of the bathroom closet door and you sit there for 30 minutes and decide you were better off in bed and then lay there 30 minutes and decide you were better off on the toilet and then dry heave a few times and realize you feel really hungry but you are way too hungover to actually make it anywhere for food so you go to the refrigerator and open the door and stare in it for like 5 minutes before realizing you have nothing ready to eat so you're like fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk again and decide to go back to sleep and then you wake up in a cold sweat and it's 8pm and you realize you still haven't eaten anything all day and you're shaking and christ gently caress it's time for some noodle soup (that you'll inevitably puke back up 10 minutes later) vs you wake up dehydrated, your head hurts, you're hungry - you take a shower, are starving, and go out to get a shitload of oily starchbomb hangover food that tastes really good and is indulgent (and follow it up with a beer).

Fresh pineapple and pho, or failing that, a tall glass of Gammel Dansk bitter and a five minute wait before the piss ditch along the festival area fence to see if it gets evicted again. But always, always a long, hard walk afterwards.

You eat the greasy starchy poo poo *before* you pass out. It's your last act before entering the Passout Zone. Here's the totally awesome broscience theory: - All that nasty stomach acid that's been churning around all night and has been exacerbated by your steady diet of PBRs and whiskey shots needs something to dissolve. - Grease forms a magical buffer solution for the acid which now has something to work on in the form of a simple starch. - If you are going to hurl, you want something relatively uncomplicated to come back up so pick your greasy snack with an eye to avoiding highly spiced food - that poo poo burns coming and going. There you go, three simple premises. Implementing this is left as an exercise to the reader.

CuddleChunks posted:- Grease forms a magical buffer solution for the acid which now has something to work on in the form of a simple starch. Also eggs are a great hangover breakfast because the yolks contain compounds that help the liver do the heavy lifting with late-phase alcohol metabolism. Big starchy things like potatoes help with this as well, because acetic acid is vinegar and malt vinegar goes very well with potatoes.

bartolimu posted:Actually it's simpler broscience than that. Alcohol is a solvent; it dissolves grease. If you feed it enough grease, it's too busy dissolving that to dissolve your brain cells, intestinal lining, etc. Right, but by the time you're consuming the breakfast, your liver will likely have metabolized most if not all of the alcohol consumed eight hours beforehand, unless you backload and or don't sleep. The evening hangover being the worst thing, as awful as day drinking is wonderful.

All that beet chat got to me and I picked up a load at the farmer's market a few days ago. Sure hope borscht freezes well because 7L of it is going to take a while to work through. May have gotten a bit carried away.

The shakes come from a magnesium (or was it manganese? gently caress if I can remember) deficit due to said mineral being used as a catalyst in metabolizing either ethanol or a byproduct of ethanol, apparently old-school drunkards would never go to bed after a night on the piss without downing some food and, most importantly, a bottle of Real Mineral Water. That is, Vichy or equally salty and strong or GTFO. Problem is that Real Mineral Water is a loving hassle to get hold of these days because modern people are weaklings who can't deal with proper mineral taste.

If you feed it enough grease, it's too busy dissolving that to dissolve your brain cells, intestinal lining, etc. So I just ate 18 tacos, one part lengua, one part tripa, one part pastor. Also washed down with a tamarindo 16oz. Is this correct edit: Feels like it was a roaring success. Looking at the menu now, the 20 taco platter came with a pitcher of horchata. Not sure how my companions dropped the ball on that. icehewk fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Sep 9, 2012 |

A chip sandwich is only impossible to eat if you do it wrong. Get two slices of bread, line chips along half of each slice, add ketchup and fold. Your chips are going nowhere. Food of (anaemic, sweaty) champions.

1. Horchata 4 Eva 2. Tried to be smart and ate lunch before I started drinking on Sunday. Bartender seemed to be pouring a little heavy but no problem. I'll have another. Hm. Starting to feel a little buzzed... one more. BAM. WASTED. I watched bartender pour someone else's drink, and by my count she put at least three and a half ounces of booze in it. The food had slowed down the first drink and a half and then it all hit me at once. I spent the rest of the day passed out on the couch. Not a pro move. 3. I got sucked into a really awkward political conversation in the checkout line at the PX. I was buying a National Enquirer (don't ask) and he was reading the cover as he scanned it. I said something like "I love to see what crazy stuff they make up about people" and he asks me if I'm an Obama supporter (I say that I am) and then launches into this weird anti-Obama rant, as if it had something to do with the National Enquirer. I guess I need to learn to be meaner, because I just kind of stood there looking bewildered until he finished.
